Having replayed NGX a little more, I guess the reason the guy didn't just take the dark dragon blade to begin with was because he wanted it to be used, because the more it kills, the more powerful it becomes.

It still doesn't really make sense -- why doesn't he just use it?

(In any case, even if there are explanations, it reminds me of how Josh Becker some movies with twists at the end seem like their writers are saying, "Okay, I know this sucks, but I have an explanation.")


Anyway, I have 40 golden scarabs, which got me a braclet that slowly regenerates my life. Still no big sword, though!
